Hey friends,

Im playing with a trio of multi-istrumentalists: guitar, fiddle, banjo, upright bass, accordion and vocals...we have a couple paying gigs and coming up and hope to get more.

Anyone have wisdom about what kind of single mic we need for the old time gather-round-the-mic set up?

I'm thinking we need a cardidoid condensor (non-multi-pattern)...does that sound right?

These are the top three I was thinking about since I don;t have unlimited funds:
